What this connector is
The Molex 465629320 is a 35-position EXTreme Ten60Power power/signal hybrid receptacle with female sockets and blade sockets, rated 60 A per circuit and terminated press-fit through-hole. The contact layout splits 30 signal positions against 5 dedicated power positions — a segregation that lets this single housing carry both rails on the same footprint rather than requiring two separate connectors. Gold plating on the contacts runs at 30.0 µin (0.76 µm), and the housing is black with an UL94 V-0 flammability rating spanning -40°C to 105°C operating temperature.
What the ratings mean for your design
The 60 A current rating is the headlining figure, but the 30 signal / 5 power contact split is what determines whether this fits the board architecture. The 5 dedicated power contacts carry the heavy current rails while the 30 signal contacts handle control, sense, or auxiliary paths — you cannot reallocate that split, so the board's power-domain count must align before committing. The 600VAC and 250VDC voltage ceiling covers standard industrial mains and DC bus rails. Press-fit termination eliminates solder reflow risk on high-current contacts and is mechanically retained in the PCB pad — the board must accept the press-fit tail diameter, which is a plating-through-hole requirement, not a surface-mount one. The gold plating grade (30.0 µin) supports the rated current and gives reasonable mating cycle durability at this contact size.
Where this class of connector is used
EXTreme Ten60Power is a board-to-board and board-to-cable power interconnect series used in industrial automation, server power shelves, and DC distribution systems where significant current must cross a board interface within a compact envelope. The hybrid signal/power layout suits designs that need a single mating event to carry both power and control — typical in motor drives, power supplies, and modular energy systems. The press-fit mounting reflects its primary use in permanent or semi-permanent board assemblies rather than field-replaceable cable connections.
What it mates with
This is the female receptacle (blade and socket) side of the EXTreme Ten60Power interface. The matching plug or header will carry the complementary blade/socket contact types on the opposing housing. The Mating Guide feature listed in the spec confirms a keyed polarisation arrangement — verify the keying orientation against the mating half before locking the pair in the application, since power connectors at this current rating do not tolerate mis-mating without risk of arc damage at engagement.
